They got the best young backcourt in the NBA

Tatum is playing on a whole different level right now. Like neck and neck with Giannis. He is FILTHY.

And so is this Celtics team.

That’s a heavyweight matchup

I need to see Mikal bring his defense that night

Zion should’ve been a defensive end because he could get away with being overweight. He’s clearly to big yet still has ridiculous agility and burst for his size.

And yet he’s still a pretty pathetic rebounder.

John Collins of the Hawks is expected to miss a minimum of two weeks with a sprained left ankle.

Another example of Luka not seeming like a fun guy to play with... not only does he show up his teammate twice but he makes basically zero effort on defense as his man gets endless time to size up and drill an open 3.

But to listen to the media he’s a front runner for MVP on his 10-11 team.

It's groupthink. Just continues the sale old narrative without actually looking at what is happening.

The hell was that? I've seen Vince Carter play. That looked like a Miss Piggy double clutch.

Better than Garland and Mitchell - I don't think so.

Have you looked at Tatum's stats? He is definitely outperforming Book so far.

We’ll see the Jays on Wednesday. The Tatum/Booker debate is interesting. Tatum is 6-10, you can’t teach size. But he also no showed in the Finals and had the most turnovers in a playoff run.

This is a statement game. And we got the Mavs on Monday. Let’s keep it rollin.

I look at Mitchel like I look at Book I don’t consider him “young” he’s been around a minute and he’s established

Anybody that still has at least 5 years of ability to play like a top tier player is young to me.

I think you can’t forget about Ja and Desmond Bane. Bane is hurt right now but Ja is a certified monster and Bane is a top 5 shooter in the league. Neither group plays defense so that’s kind of a wash.

Not that night we were talking about.

Mitchell wouldn’t be considered young.

In that moment SuperBone was right.
Yeah after the fact we can compare stats but they’re both close is some regards.

I'm liking this just for you because the Lakers have been through some tough times lately. Looks like they are turning it around.
